Description
Artist : Ron King
Title : Masks
Medium : Acrylic paint
About:
Ron has had an artistic life that spans a multi faceted and inspiring 70 years. His iconographic work is marked by a distinctive, fresh and often pioneering approach. As an artist his work can’t be pinned down to by genre but it is hallmarked by a distinctively curious, questioning and energetic approach.
Born in São Paulo, Brazil in 1932, Ron still has a strong attachment to the country, its culture and a particular fascination with the infamous bandit leader Lampião and his notorious gang. Sent to school in England in 1945, he later gained a scholarship at Chelsea School of Art for his painting; going on to win several art awards.
Today Ron is considered one of the modern day masters of artist books. He and his collaborators have built up a considerable body of work, producing over 200 publications and individual works, most of which are held in major public and private collections worldwide.
